First half we played well, we created numerous chances and should've scored. (Especially via set pieces).

Second half we just folded. But even at 1-0 down we looked capable of scoring. That is the difference to previous home games - we looked like scoring, that to me is what good football is about.

However after a well taken second it was game over.

Tonight is probably a hint of what is to come when Anderson leaves. I guess the difference between tonight and our previous results is the the fact that our chances fell to other players other than Anderson.

Had the chances we created fell to Anderson in the first half, we'd have gone in 3-0 up.

One thing I'd like to question, still, is why oh why aren't we giving Anderson support in the form of a partner up top? Either push Goddard up further or start with Delaney.

I suppose the usual suspects will point to recent results and his goal scoring record and say 'it's working'. I'd tend to disagree. He has scored wonderful solo goals recently and converted one chance a game. The only chance we've created (in games I've attended).

Imagine where we'd be and how many he would score if we were giving him service and providing 4/5 chances a game?

Second half Matlock doubled up on Anderson and it rendered us ineffective. So our get out jail card was neautrilased and we simply had no answer.

We need a plan B. Firstly when teams figure out our long ball to Anderson home run tactic and secondly a viable tactic for when we go one down.
